    Recycled generally means using secondhand timber

    Reclaimed (or salvaged) can mean the same thing but can also mean you reclaimed sawmill wastes (eg shorts) or forest wastes.

    reclaimed timber is normally a wasted log reclaimed from the tip or salvaged after fire ,could even be out of a swap ,basically timber that hasn't been used as timber before, recycled timber has been used in another building and normally has nail holes , bolt holes ,might even be painted ,but still useful
    how come a 10mm peg dont fit in a 10mm hole
